Welcome to Western National Bank! We are a community bank that is family owned and operated with 11 locations throughout Nebraska and Kansas.

On January 1, 2009, Western National Bank was born. On this date we purchased First National Bank of Summerfield from Farmers Bank of Cook in Summerfield, KS.

Five years later on January 1, 2014, the State Bank of Chester, NE was purchased by the holding company and merged into Western National Bank. After opening our Chester location, our headquarters were moved to Chester and our Summerfield location became a branch.

The following year on September 15, 2015 we opened a brand new stand-alone full service branch in Cairo, NE.

After a few years of operating out of these three locations, the holding company purchased Byron State Bank in Byron, NE and merged into Western National Bank on July 1, 2017.

Exactly 4 years later on July 1, 2021, Mainstreet Bank was purchased, expanding Western National Bank into a total of 11 communities throughout Nebraska and Kansas including (in alphabetical order):

• Byron, NE
• Cairo, NE
• Chester, NE
• Cook, NE
• Louisville, NE
• Peru, NE
• Summerfield, KS
• Syracuse, NE
• Tecumseh, NE
• Virginia, NE
• Wymore, NE
• We also serve customers in Lincoln and Omaha, NE.

We enjoy being a part of these communities and look forward to continuing to provide our present and future customers with the best banking experience possible.

Advice l Investments l Insurance l Banking l Generosity

A legacy built with purpose.

For over a century, Thrivent has been helping people build their financial futures and live more generous lives. We started out back in 1902, providing much-needed insurance contracts to our Lutheran community. The Christian values that steered us then — generosity and appreciation for what’s important in life — are the same values that compel us in 2020.

Today, we’re a Fortune 500 company, offering a full range of expert financial solutions, including advice, investments, insurance, banking and generosity programs. We serve over 2 million clients, as well as the communities in which they live and work.

How We’re Different

At Thrivent, we believe money is a tool, not a goal. Driven by a higher purpose at our core, we are committed to providing financial advice, investments, insurance, banking, and generosity programs to help people make the most of all they’ve been given.

At our heart, we are a membership-owned fraternal organization, as well as a holistic financial services organization, dedicated to serving the unique needs of our clients. We focus on their goals and priorities, guiding them towards financial choices that will help them live the life they want today – and tomorrow.

We’re reaching more people.

We’ve always held the belief that humanity thrives when people make the most of all they’ve been given. To ensure we can continue to inspire generations to make financial choices guided by their Christian values, we’re supporting our current clients – and opening our doors to new ones. And we’re meeting their needs in more ways than ever before. Because when more people make the most of all they’ve been given, our impact amplifies.

We put our clients first

We start with you, and your needs. That’s been our philosophy, and it continues today. As a membership-owned organization, we answer to our clients – never to shareholders on Wall Street. By operating this way, we build relationships based on transparency and trust.
